So I'm about to hit my first full year working out and I'm happy to say I hit a one plate overhead press. Now onto a 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat and 4 plate deadlift. Deadlift is at 335 so that may be the next one.

I was doing deadlifts and getting to my working set of 315. Fella and this girl take the platform next to me. Seen the girl a couple of times before but this is the first time I've seen the guy.

So I'm pulling 225 and the people next to me are warming up with a plate. I pull 225 for 4 sets. 2 sumo and 2 conventional.

I go for 315 and do a set. I sit on the bumper plates and pause my music to gather myself. I overhear the girl tell the guy "wow, he's strong" referring to me the asshole replies "it's cause he's short" the guy was maybe 5'9 at most. I'm 5'7

I do 2 more sets of 315 for 8 reps. Go for 335 for 3 sets. Go down to two plates for some AMRAP sets. Yeah. Just cause I'm short. 😒

That's what there called. I'm just laughing at them. At people wearing them. How much of a punk do you need to be to need lifting gloves. If ones grip is a issue on deadlifts then do more deadlifts. Do heavy farmers walks.
